What is phtml, and when should I use a .phtml extension rather than .php?

Question

I\'m wondering what the difference between .phtml and .php files is, and when to use one over the other.

Answer 1

There is usually no difference, as far as page rendering goes. It's a huge facility developer-side, though, when your web project grows bigger.

I make use of both in this fashion:

• .PHP Page doesn't contain view-related code
• .PHTML Page contains little (if any) data logic and the most part of it is presentation-related
